Crash by Ballard, J. G - 1973

London: Jonathan Cape, 1973. First edition, first printing. Published by Jonathan Cape in London, 1973. This is a very good (or better) copy. The Bill Botten dust wrapper is sunned at the spine and with some slight lifting to the laminate at the front panel. There is mild edgewear throughout and some very slight chipping to the spine tips. It has been neatly price clipped. The boards, in the original publisher's blue buckram, are slightly faded at the spine tips though otherwise free from notable chips and marks. The text blocks are moderately foxed throughout, notably at the top edge. This copy is free from previous owners inscriptions and is, overall, a very good (or better) copy. It follows a group of car-crash fetishists who become sexually aroused by staging and participating in car accidents, inspired by the famous crashes of celebrities.
